Wow, what a season it's going to be at the theater- not one but THREE Marvel superhero blockbusters, a new Star Wars, the most anticipated Pixar release ever, and a sequel to the third-largest box office draw the world's ever seen! That's worthy of a Summer Movie Preview IMO... and if someone keeps this thread alive we could use it to discuss the latest Hollywood excitement all season long, how nice would that be?
--- 2018 Summer Movies * everything behind a $ below is in millions of dollars and is based on the domestic gross, not the combined worldwide number April 27th Avengers: Infinity War  Ten years later... it all comes down to this. After spending the last decade hunting down stones across the galaxy Thanos finally arrives on Earth, and all factions of the Marvel universe (the Avengers, the Guardians, Strange's sorcerers, the armies of Wakanda, Spiderman's quiz team) must unite to stop him. Well, what more is there to say about this franchise? This is the 19th film in the shared universe and audiences certainly don't seem to be growing fatigued, considering Movie #18 just blew past Titanic to become the third biggest hit in the history of US cinema. The only question is if it can threaten The Force Awakens for biggest opening weekend, and how many Star Wars films it'll be able to knock off while climbing the lifetime charts all Summer long. All I can say for sure is that I'll be a dead ringer for our grizzled new Captain America when I hit the theater in full costume on opening night. Related: The Avengers $623, Avengers: Age of Ultron $459, Captain America: Civil War $408 Ng Sez: $646 May 4th Tully  Rival studios knew Disney was going to land an extinction-level crater on their box office dreams in early May, so no one wanted to put out a new movie this week. That means instead of another standard blockbuster we get a heartfelt Summer indie with Oscar hopes, which is fun in itself! Won't make any money but hey- nice change of pace. Writer Diablo Cody (of Juno fame) reunites with Charlize Theron to tell the story of an exhausted mother of three whose life is turned around by the night nanny her husband hires named Tully (played by Mackenzie Davis, aka the girl you fell in love with in Black Mirror's San Junipero). Seems like a pretty typical slice-of-life indie drama/comedy, but as someone who loved Juno and Young Adult I still think it could be worth seeing. If the reviews are positive I'll be sure to give this a chance. Related: Juno $143, Young Adult $16, Atomic Blonde $52 Ng Sez: $29 May 11th Life of the Party  After being stunned by a divorce after 20 years of marriage, Melissa McCarthy decides the only way to get her life back on track is to return to college to complete her degree. And for some reason she has to join her daughter's sorority to do it. Can you just imagine?! Alright so yes, Old School did this 15 years ago (continuing the trend of gender swapped reboots- more on that later) and this new version of the same idea doesn't look especially original or gut-busting. But this movie's not for us, and honestly McCarthy is perhaps the most reliably bankable star in Hollywood right now. I won't be lining up to see this one but everything she stars in finds a big audience with older female viewers and I doubt this will be an exception.

May 18th
Deadpool 2  Now you can see why no male-centric movies wanted to release in May, would have been put in quite the Marvel pinch! Anyways so yeah, deadly time-traveling super solider Cable shows up and Deadpool has to form his own "super duper team" to answer the threat, rest assured many hijinks result. FOX took a huge risk on Deadpool two years ago; everyone said super hero movies had to be serious, PG-13 (because they couldn't survive without teen boys filling the seats), and that only the MCU was strong enough to center them around lesser-known characters. Then DP1 went out and became the highest grossing R rated film of all time, the first successful superhero/comedy mashup, and even outgrossed every other mutant slash X-Men movie, including Wolverine's stand alone hits! Deadpool's humor doesn't always land for me but I love what he's done to lighten up the comic book genre so I'll be there opening weekend to support the dude. Related: Deadpool $363, Logan $226, Green Lantern $117 Ng Sez: $319 May 25th Solo: A Star Wars Story  Everyone's favorite smuggler gets his first starring role; we take a deep dive into the past to see how a young Han Solo met his friends Chewie and Lando and got his hands on the Millennium Falcon. The main trilogy will conclude next Christmas, until then we're back to the "off brand" Star Wars anthology series. Positives: Rogue One was way better than I expected, Donald Glover is the perfect choice for a young Lando, and having Woody Harrelson and Emilia Clarke involved is certainly promising (as is Ron Howard in the director's seat). Negatives: I can't get over how un-Harrison Ford this guy is! I'll still check out Solo on opening weekend and hope the rest of the film is good enough to make up for Han's casting, but in the meantime I'm going to stay very conservative with my box office pred. Related: Rogue One $532, The Last Jedi $620, The Force Awakens $937 Ng Sez: $265 June 1st Action Point  Here's another week the rival studios avoided like the plague, and between Star Wars and the second weekend/tail end of two surefire comic book hits you can't blame them. Left to pick up the pieces is... Johnny Knoxville?! He stars in an '80s teen flick throwback about the world's most dangerous theme park where (of course) he and his friend Chris Pontius perform all the stunts. Jackass may have debuted almost 20 years ago, but idiots injuring themselves in ridiculous ways is timeless. If anyone had doubts on that matter they should have been assuaged by the shockingly successful Bad Grandpa a few years back. I can't see this one becoming the same kind of breakout hit, and I won't be rushing to the theater to get tickets myself, but I do dig the goofy Wet Hot American Summer-style vibe so I'll probably catch it when it comes to Netflix. Related: Bad Grandpa $102, Jackass 3D $117, Jackass: The Movie $64 Ng Sez: $63 --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

June 8th
Ocean's 8  "Anything men can do, we can do better." The theme of female remakes/reboots keeps right on rolling as George Clooney's sister Sandra Bullock assembles her own crack team of super-thiefs to pull off the heist of the century: stealing a $150 million diamond off the neck of the world's most famous actress (Anne Hathaway) at the Met Gala. Her crew? Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, Mindy Kaling, Rihanna, Awkwafina, Helena Bonham Carter, and Dakota Fanning. For all the hate 2016's Ghostbusters received online it still went on to make a very respectable chunk of change (about $230 million worldwide), which wasn't enough to put it into the positives only because it was way too expensive to make (costing nearly $150 million). Ocean's 8 isn't going to have that problem and I think between that and the very smartly counter-programmed release date, women are going to turn out to this one in droves and turn it into a big time hit. Which is wonderful since I've always been a sucker for heist flicks and the trailer looks great- count me in, ladies! Related: Ocean's 11 $183, Ocean's 12 $125, Ocean's 13 $117 Ng Sez: $138 June 15th Incredibles 2  Having to wait 14 years for this is undoubtedly the most absurd scheduling decision in Disney history, especially considering they talked Pixar into making two Cars movies in the meantime despite no one asking for them... but let's put all that behind us because it's finally here! Mr. Incredible struggles with becoming a stay-at-home Dad when Elastigirl is promoted to the status of world's #1 super hero. (Will Samuel L. Jackson agree to be his Tully?) The whole cast is back including legendary writer/director Brad Bird, and I couldn't be more excited! The addition of Breaking Bad alums Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks is a nice touch as well. Basically I would be SHOCKED if this isn't the best movie of the Summer, and I'd be equally surprised if it didn't have the blockbuster results to back that up. Related: The Incredibles $261, Finding Dory $486, Monsters University $268 Ng Sez: $439 June 22nd Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom  A volcano or something is set to blow up Dinosaur Island, and only Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard can save these noble (genetically modified, shouldn't exist in the first place, ate hundreds of people) creatures! 2015's Jurassic reboot was... perfectly fine. No one's a bigger Chris Pratt fan than myself and he was the right choice for the role, it had some incredible action sequences and all the dinos looked pretty good. All that being said, I didn't see a need to return to that world so soon. Universal Pictures saw it another way, and when you consider World's eye-popping numbers it's hard to blame them: it finished its run as the 3rd biggest movie in history, both domestically and internationally (behind only Titanic and Avatar). In summary, I'll be in the theater opening weekend, crossing my fingers that they came up with a more compelling script than the trailer would lead us to believe. Related: Jurassic World $652, Jurassic Park $402, The Lost World $229 Ng Sez: $393 --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

June 29th
Sicario: Day of the Soldado  What an odd choice to place smack-dab in the middle of Blockbuster Season: a sequel to a small Oscar-nominated 2015 film that was critically acclaimed but almost no one saw, and which lost its leading actor (Emily Blunt). Kind of makes sense though because, based on the trailer, it looks like Soldado is shedding its small scale indie roots and going in a Micheal Bay-lite action direction with Benicio del Toro starting an ill-advised war with the Mexican government. I'm sure it'll do okay for itself and improve on Sicaro's modest success, can't see it turning into a break out smash hit... But enough about that nonsense, let's get to the real story here: what a Summer for Josh Brolin! He gets to chew scenery and steal scenes as the ultra intimidating super villain in TWO of what will be the most successful comic book movies ever only two weeks apart, then a mere month later here he is lighting up the screen with another juicy villainous role. He'll never have to worry about money again, and good for him; now he just needs an Oscar statue to go along with his Scrooge McDuck vault. Related: Sicario $47, The Wolfman $61, Traffic $124 Ng Sez: $73 July 6th Ant-Man and the Wasp  Ant-Man makes his glorious return to the silver screen, this time alongside his new sidekick Evangeline Lilly. (Well, not new, she was in the last movie already, but now she gets to wear a bumblebee suit and shrink and talk to bugs or whatever.) Okay so Ant-Man is the lowest of the low tier when it comes to super heroes, but Paul Rudd is great in the role and somehow even joke characters can turn Disney shareholders into mega millionaires thanks to the far reaching appeal of the MCU. I'm thinking audiences are going to leave Infinity War newly reenergized about this universe and the high tide will raise all ships, lifting even the least consequential of their 20 shared-world movies to new heights. And I'll be right there to get in on the fun on opening week! Related: Ant-Man $180, Doctor Strange $233, Thor: Ragnarok $315 Ng Sez: $223 July 13th Skyscraper  Did I call Melissa McCarthy Hollywood's most bankable star above? Someone musta forgot about THE ROCK. His track record of success is actually even more unbelievable considering he makes twice as many movies as Melissa and somehow every second one explodes as a mega-hit, like Jumani did earlier this year. In any case Skyscraper is, well... 99% just the original Die Hard, with Rock in the Bruce Willis role. Will that be enough to make it a show-stopping blockbuster? Probably. Will it be enough to get me to the theater on opening weekend? HECK yes! Now if you'll excuse me I have to cut this review short and see Rampage instead. Related: Jumani $404, Central Intelligence $127, San Andreas $155 Ng Sez: $129 --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

July 20th
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again  Did you realize the original Mamma Mia movie came out ten years ago? I'd have said four or five! Not that I think about it often (other than when the admittedly catchy songs get stuck in my head). Regardless, Here We Go Again is the story of Amanda Seyfried getting knocked up a notch by a man who leaves her, so she needs to get cheered up by time traveling to the '70s to watch her Mom Meryl Streep (errr, Lily James) likewise get knocked up by a young Pierce Brosnan (or possibly two other men, who knows). Inspirational stuff! I'd say 10 years is way too long between entries but female moviegoers are going to be starved for entertainment this Summer, as we've covered a few times already, and musicals are some of the safest bets at the box office these days. I'm betting this still puts up a very respectable number, though it probably doesn't match the original's success. Related: Mamma Mia $144, Les Miserables $149, The Greatest Showman $174 Ng Sez: $122 July 27th Mission: Impossible - Fallout  Tom Cruise puts on his running shoes for the sixth time... but this time, it's personal. Oh, they've all been personal? Okay, this time, it's impersonal. I don't know how much there is to say about Fallout other than that I absolutely LOVE this trailer (especially when the remixed theme song kicks in) and that the last two entries in this series have been downright delightful and I'd happily watch another six. The rest of the world seems to be in agreement based on the box office tallies, so here's to predicting more of the same aka another 200+ showing for this unkillable franchise! Related: Rogue Nation $195, Ghost Protocol $209, MI3 $134 Ng Sez: $203 August 3rd Christopher Robin  When Ewan McGregor's family leaves him at home in the midst of a serious midlife crisis he's visited by his closest childhood friend... a talking stuffed animal named Winnie the Pooh. Fever dream, severe mental trauma, an unhinged psychotic break? Oh, bother! I joke, but Disney's animated-films-turned-live-action-for-no-good-reason genre has been one of their best decisions ever from a purely business standpoint. Everyone saw Beauty & The Beast go nuts a year ago but even their second tier titles like Cinderella and Maleficent have made serious bank. And of course we'd be fools to disregard Seth MacFarlane's trailblazing role in this area- clearly talking teddy bears are as sure a sign of an upcoming box office bonanza as insanity! Related: Winnie the Pooh (2011) $27, Cinderella (2015) $201, Ted $219 Ng Sez: $116 --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

August 10th
The Meg  Remember when you were 10 and you discovered that 3 million years ago there was a great white shark the size of a schoolbus swimming around eating literally everything in the ocean, and its name was Megaladon, and it was the best day of your childhood? What if I told you that there was secretly one 75 foot Meg still hiding at the bottom of the ocean, and now its eating every surfer on the West Coast, and only Jason Statham can stop it? If you answered "that would be the best day of my adult life," boy do I have the movie for you. Sharks have never really gone out of style post-Jaws, but they're especially hot right now in the wake of The Shallows and 47 Meters Down the last couple years. Well, okay so neither of those movies made much money, but Meg has a much larger budget and the advantage of being the last action flick of the Summer- maybe it can turn that into a respectable showing? Personally I think I'll wait for Netflix on this one but it could still be fun with a large enough popcorn bucket in your lap. Related: The Shallows $55, Piranha 3D $25, Sharknado (zero dollars) Ng Sez: $69 August 17th The Happytime Murders Honestly I should have concluded this Summer's movie coverage with Mission Impossible, but I had to do August solely so I could talk about this one- undoubtedly the weirdest idea I've ever had the pleasure of doing a writeup for. Soooo there was this Muppet/Sesame Street-like TV program in the 70s and 80s, except all the puppets on the show existed in real life, and now in 2018 they start turning up dead. This is an R-rated film noir about the puppet detective who has to follow shady characters into gin joints and strip clubs to get to the bottom of these Happytime Murders, before he gets knocked off himself. ...and no I didn't just make that up, this movie really exists, I just can't prove it because they haven't released a trailer yet. I could see a show like this becoming a cult hit on a streaming service or Adult Swim, but someone spending millions of dollars to promote it slash release it in thousands of theaters? Personally I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes on opening night! Related: The Muppets (2011) $87, The Dark Crystal $41, Team America: World Police $33 Ng Sez: $11 August 24th Replicas  After a horrific car accident kills his wife and kids, brilliant Doctor Keanu Reeves will stop at nothing to bring them back to life. Keanu's riding high off the goodwill generated by the frankly incredible things he's done in the past few years to anyone who looked at his dog the wrong way, so I could see him turning this fairly stereotypical sci-fi trope into a decent hit. Won't set the world on fire but I'm down for some mind-bending synthetic action, so count me in if the reviews are better than expected! Related: John Wick 2 $92, The Lazarus Effect $26, Flatliners (2017) $17 Ng Sez: $59 --- Ng's Top Five Picks: 1. Avengers Infinity $646 2. Incredibles 2 $439 3. Jurassic Fallen $393 4.

I want to see Infinity War but something's putting me off but I can't work out WHAT. i wasn't looking forward to this movie too much, actually. part of it was "how the heck are they going to make a movie with 3000 characters work?" and part of it was that i don't even like the infinity gauntlet source material (super overrated imo). now that the movie has a 9.1 on IMDb i'm a lot more interested, though. (sure, that number is probably going to drop a lot in the coming months, but that's still quite impressive!) --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta ... Copied to Clipboard!

The final numbers are in and... yikes oh mikes! I was very impressed by Infinity's 2nd best of all time opening day (as well I should have been), but turns out that was just a light warmup lap. After losing Friday to The Force Awakens, Avengers destroyed Star Wars by $14 million on Saturday, then bested it by a further $9 million on Sunday.
All told that comes to a weekend total of $258 million, easily topping the old mark of 248. And it wasn't just a world-beating hit in North America- the movie smashed weekend records in nearly every country for a combined total of over $640 million. That tops the old record for a worldwide total... by 100 million. Amazingly it accomplished all that without opening in China (now the second most important market on the globe) or Russia (also a pretty big one). Next on the horizon: trying to stay over $150 million next time out, to beat Star Wars for biggest second weekend. With all the other studios too afraid to challenge this juggernaut even in its second outing, it should have a great shot. --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

Infinity War hit 300 yesterday, tying Force Awakens for fastest to that mark. It's fallen a little behind TFA overall but that's to be expected; this is such an early launch that everyone's still in school during the week (unlike December releases where people often have off around the holidays). Avengers can make up for that by continuing to win on the weekends.

The final numbers are in and Infinity put up $115 million this past weekend. That's well short of the 150 it needed to beat TFA but is still amazing (#2 of all time).
With other hot action movies arriving soon it remains to be seen if Avengers will be able to best Black Panther domestically, but it's got so much more international appeal that it's sure to crush all other comic book competition in the Worldwide totals. It's already to 1.2 billion WW despite not debuting in China until this coming weekend, which has me bullish on the film's chances to go over 2 billion and top The Force Awakens in the process. --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

Final numbers are in- Infinity pulled down $62 million domestically this past weekend. The bad news: that's way off The Force Awaken's 90 mil and only the 4th best third weekend on record, behind Black Panther's 66. With Deadpool arriving next week to cut out its legs it seems unlikely that Avengers will be able to maintain its lead on Panther and will have to settle for being "only" the 4th biggest movie ever domestically.
The good news: Infinity War absolutely killed it internationally this weekend thanks largely to a huge $200 million opening in China (selling more than twice as many tickets as any previous comic book movie there). It's already the first comic book film to pass the $1 billion mark outside of the US, has already climbed into the #5 position worldwide, and is a virtual lock to surpass both Force Awakens and Titanic to finish as the #2 box office smash in history. --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

I'm only posting because the Stats topic purged and I just now realized I'm not getting any karma.
Anyway, I'll probably see Deadpool 2 this week. --- Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi ... Copied to Clipboard!

WHOOPSIES, got a little ahead of myself! Deadpool did smash the opening day record for an R rated film with $53 million (besting the 50 that It put together last year), but it was very front loaded and finished the weekend with $126, 6 million off the record. That's still a fantastic total and it's pretty clear it only missed out on the #1 finish because so many people are still heading to Avengers for the first or second or third time. (Despite the inter-Marvel competition Infinity War amazingly dropped only 52% in its 4th weekend, scoring another $29 million to almost reach $600 domestically.)
Yup, bit of a shame that Deadpool got pinched with unlucky timing for the release window, but the sad thing is... it's only going to get worse. Launching behind what will go down as the third-biggest movie ever was bad enough, and now its second weekend numbers are going to be destroyed by a Memorial Weekend Star Wars release. Poor DP! Between these three huge films and the extra day for the holiday we might be heading into the biggest 4 day total in US box office history- should be fun! --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

Solid start for Solo on Thursday evening, but that's to be expected from the world's biggest fanbase. We'll see if it can keep things rolling to help deliver the all time four day record.

Once upon a time every studio dreamed of a $100 million opening, but in 2018 the $103 million Solo pulled down in its first four days has to be considered a bit of a disappointment. Rouge One and its $155 mil start was considered incredible at the time and only looks more spectacular in hindsight; clearly having only 5 months between Star Wars releases instead of the usual 12 was a mistake, and I doubt Disney will repeat it. (Though rumors of the movie's troubled filming and reshoots surely held it back as well.)
Also not quite up to par: Deadpool's large 57% drop in its second weekend. DP2 still made $54 million for a new total of $219, which is highly respectable, but its now fallen over 20 mil behind the pace of DP1 and is clearly being hurt by this month's tough competition. Speaking of which, Avengers was the weekend's bright spot, continuing to astound by dropping only 24% despite two huge new releases displacing it in most screens across the continent. Overall the holiday weekend came in at around $220 million- one of the better showings for the year but nowhere near the $400 we saw at the launch of both Black Panther and Infinity War. Things finally cool off next weekend with no major releases, but after that its back to Blockbuster Season with Ocean's 8/Incredibles 2/Jurassic World all looking to have huge openings in June. --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

Disappointing second weekend for Solo, dropping 65% despite the smaller-than-expected opening weekend. With that in the books our new Summer Totals stand at
Avengers - $646 Deadpool - $261 Solo - $156 So things are looking DARN good for my prediction, which was as you'll recall... 1. Avengers Infinity $646 2. Incredibles 2 $439 3. Jurassic Fallen $393 4. Deadpool 2 $319 5. Solo $265 OMG no one else buy a ticket to Infinity War so I can keep my perfect guess! --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

you should see the others! i like the series and i'll probably see this one as well.
i even kinda like ocean's twelve. i'm biased, though. i just like how a good chunk of the movie takes place in amsterdam, as i know the city well. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta ... Copied to Clipboard!
